Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fahrzeugkupplung zum Herstellen einer mechanischen Verbindung zwischen einem ersten und einem zweiten Fahrzeug, wobei die Fahrzeugkupplung einen Kupplungskörper umfasst.The The invention relates to a vehicle coupling for producing a mechanical Connection between a first and a second vehicle, wherein the vehicle clutch comprises a coupling body.
Der Kupplungskörper und die damit zusammenwirkenden Bauteile werden üblicherweise gießtechnisch aus Stahl- oder Sphäroguss hergestellt oder auch aus Blechteilen geschweißt. Die daraus resultierende robuste Bauweise ist bei den hohen zu erwartenden Betriebskräften notwendig, um Verformungen zu vermeiden und einen maximalen Verschleißschutz zu gewährleisten. Diese bisher angewandten Bauweisen sind jedoch insofern nachteilig, als dass das Eigengewicht der Fahrzeugkupplung sehr hoch ist, was sich wiederum nachteilig auf das Leergewicht des Fahrzeugs auswirkt, so dass bei einem vorgegebenen maximal zulässigen Gesamtgewicht eine entsprechend geringere Nutzlast zur Verfügung steht. Ein weiterer Nachteil von Gussbauteilen liegt in dem Risiko der Bildung von Einschlüssen und Lunkern insbesondere in Bereichen lokal erforderlicher Metallanhäufungen.Of the clutch body and the cooperating components are usually casting made of steel or nodular cast iron made or welded from sheet metal parts. The resulting Robust construction is necessary for the high expected operating forces, to avoid deformation and maximum wear protection to ensure. However, these previously applied constructions are disadvantageous in that that the dead weight of the vehicle clutch is very high, resulting in again adversely affects the curb weight of the vehicle, so that at a given maximum permissible total weight a corresponding lower payload available stands. Another disadvantage of cast components lies in the risk the formation of inclusions and Voids especially in areas of locally required metal accumulations.
Demzufolge lag der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Fahrzeugkupplung mit einem gegenüber bekannten Fahrzeugkupplungen deutlicht verringerten Eigengewicht bereitzustellen.As a result, the invention was the object of a vehicle clutch with one opposite known vehicle clutches significantly reduced dead weight provide.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit einer Fahrzeugkupplung gelöst, bei der mindestens ein struktureller Bereich des Kupplungskörpers aus einem Metallschaum gebildet ist. Der wesentliche Vorteil des Metallschaumes liegt in der sehr hohen Festigkeit bei einem gegenüber Stahl deutlich verringerten Raumgewicht.The Task is according to the invention with a vehicle clutch solved, in the at least one structural region of the coupling body a metal foam is formed. The main advantage of the metal foam lies in the very high strength at one compared to steel significantly reduced density.
Der Metallschaum wird aus einem Treibmittel und einem diesem zugesetzten Metallpulver hergestellt, wobei das Metallpulver meist aus Aluminium oder Stahl besteht. Nach dem Zusammenführen und Mischen des Treibmittels mit dem Metallpulver folgen ein erster Formgebungsprozess und ein anschließendes Aufschäumen. Durch die Schaumstruktur ergibt sich eine äußerst geringe Volumendichte bei nur geringfügig verringerter Festigkeit des Metallschaums.Of the Metal foam is made from a propellant and this added Made of metal powder, the metal powder is usually made of aluminum or Steel exists. After combining and mixing the propellant with the metal powder follow a first shaping process and a then Foaming. The foam structure results in an extremely low volume density at only slightly reduced strength of the metal foam.
Vorzugsweise umfasst der Kupplungskörper eine Kupplungsplatte einer Sattelkupplung. Alternativ hierzu kann der Kupplungskörper auch aus einem Kupplungsmaul einer Anhänger- oder Bolzenkupplung gebildet sein.Preferably the coupling body comprises a Clutch plate of a fifth wheel. Alternatively, the clutch body also formed from a coupling jaw of a trailer or bolt coupling be.
Es hat sich als günstig herausgestellt, wenn der Metallschaum ganz oder teilweise eine Beschichtung aufweist. Die aus Metallschaum gefertigte Fahrzeugkupplung beziehungsweise die entsprechend ausgebildeten Bereiche weisen eine vergleichsweise raue Oberfläche auf, die durch eine Beschichtung geglättet werden kann. Darüber hinaus lässt sich durch die Beschichtung die Korrosionsbeständigkeit erhöhen. Die Beschichtung kann beispielsweise aus einem Fülllack gebildet sein.It has been considered favorable exposed when the metal foam wholly or partially a coating having. The made of metal foam vehicle clutch or The corresponding trained areas have a comparatively rough surface on, which can be smoothed by a coating. Furthermore let yourself increase the corrosion resistance through the coating. The Coating can be formed for example from a filling paint.
Ebenso ist es möglich, die Beschichtung aus einer Umspritzung oder Umschäumung mit einem Kunststoff vorzusehen. Diese kann teilweise um die gesamte Fahrzeugkupplung oder partiell aufgebracht sein. Insbesondere können einzelne Bauteile vollständig mit der Beschichtung gekapselt sein.As well Is it possible, the coating of an encapsulation or foam with to provide a plastic. This can be partially around the entire Vehicle coupling or partially applied. In particular, individual Components completely be encapsulated with the coating.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist der strukturelle Bereich in einer Sandwich- Bauweise gebildet. Die Sandwichbauweise ist eine Bauweise, bei der mehrere Schichten verschiedener Eigenschaften in einem Werkstoff eingebettet werden. Als Konstruktionsweise bezeichnet die Sandwichbauweise eine Form des Leichtbaus, bei dem die Bauteile aus kraftaufnehmenden Decklagen bestehen, die durch einen relativ weichen, meist leichten, Kernwerkstoff auf Abstand gehalten werden. Diese Teile sind bei geringem Gewicht sehr biege- und beulsteif. Das Kernmaterial überträgt auftretende Schubkräfte und stützt die Deckschichten.Conveniently, the structural area is formed in a sandwich construction. The sandwich construction is a construction that incorporates several layers of different properties embedded in a material. Designated as construction method the sandwich construction is a form of lightweight construction in which the components consist of force-absorbing cover layers by a relative soft, usually lightweight, core material to be kept at a distance. These parts are very flexible and bulky at low weight. The core material transmits occurring thrusts and supports the cover layers.
Bei der Sandwich-Bauweise sollte der Metallschaum den Kern bilden, welcher mit mindestens einer Decklage aus Stahl und/oder Kunststoff und/oder Aluminium verbunden ist. Dabei soll an Stellen, an denen eine geschlossenporige Oberfläche benötigt wird, um zum Beispiel niedrige Reibwerte zu erreichen, ein herkömmliches Stahlblech oder gegebenenfalls auch eine Kunststoffschicht zum Einsatz kommen.at the sandwich construction, the metal foam should form the core, which with at least one cover layer of steel and / or plastic and / or Aluminum is connected. It should in places where a closed-pore surface needed For example, to achieve low coefficients of friction, a conventional Sheet steel or optionally also a plastic layer for use come.
Alternativ oder zusätzlich zu der Sandwich-Bauweise umfasst der strukturelle Bereich vorteilhafterweise ein an dem Kupplungskörper ausgebildetes Stützelement aus Metallschaum. Unter einem Stützelement wird eine die Kupplungsplatte oder das Kupplungsmaul verstärkende Rippenstruktur verstanden. Bei einer Sattelkupplung ist diese an der Unterseite der Kupplungsplatte angeordnet, bei einem Kupplungsmaul auf der Außenseite der konisch aufgeweiteten Einfahröffnung.alternative or additionally to the sandwich construction, the structural region advantageously comprises a on the coupling body trained support element made of metal foam. Under a support element becomes a rib structure reinforcing the coupling plate or the coupling jaw Understood. For a fifth wheel, this is at the bottom the clutch plate arranged at a coupling jaw on the outside the conically widened entry opening.
Günstigerweise ist das Stützelement durch eine Klebeschicht mit dem Kupplungskörper verbunden. Die Klebeschicht kann mittels einer Kunststoffmasse erfolgen, die vorzugsweise faserverstärkt ist.conveniently, is the support element connected by an adhesive layer to the coupling body. The adhesive layer can be done by means of a plastic mass, which is preferably fiber-reinforced.
Als Materialien für die Kunststoffmasse eignen sich Thermoplaste oder Duroplaste. Ein thermoplastischer Kunststoff verformt sich bei Wärme und behält beim Erkalten seine Form bei. Die bekanntesten Thermoplaste sind Polypropylen, Polyethylen, Polyester, Polyvinylchlorid und Polyamid. Duroplaste, auch Duromere genannt, sind Kunststoffe, die nach ihrer Aushärtung nicht mehr verformt werden können. Duroplaste sind harte, glasartige Polymerwerkstoffe, die über chemische Hauptvalenzbindungen dreidimensional fest vernetzt sind. Die Vernetzung erfolgt beim Mischen von Vorprodukten mit Verzweigungsstellen und wird entweder bei Raumtemperatur mit Hilfe von Katalysatoren chemisch oder bei hohen Temperaturen thermisch aktiviert.Suitable materials for the plastic composition are thermoplastics or thermosets. A thermoplastic deforms when heated and retains its shape when cooled. The best known thermoplastics are polypropylene, polyethylene, Polyester, polyvinyl chloride and polyamide. Thermosets, also called duromers, are plastics that can not be deformed after they have hardened. Thermosets are hard, glass-like polymer materials that are three-dimensionally firmly cross-linked by chemical valence bonds. The crosslinking takes place during the mixing of precursors with branching points and is thermally activated either at room temperature with the aid of catalysts chemically or at high temperatures.
Als Kunststoffmasse kann insbesondere auch ein Kunststoffschaum verwendet werden. Ebenso ist auch die Verwendung eines Metallschaumes besonders gut für das Erstellen einer Klebeschicht geeignet.When Plastic compound can also be used in particular a plastic foam become. Likewise, the use of a metal foam is special good for the creation of an adhesive layer suitable.
Weitere Möglichkeiten, das Stützelement mit dem Kupplungskörper zu verbinden, bestehen im thermischen Fugen oder in einer Schraubbeziehungsweise Nietverbindung.Further Options, the support element with the coupling body To join, consist in thermal joints or in a screw connection way Riveting.
Wegen der hohen Biegesteifigkeit ist gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Metallschaum in einem im Kraftfluss liegenden Abschnitt des Kupplungskörpers angeordnet.Because of the high bending stiffness is according to a preferred embodiment the metal foam in a lying in the power flow section of the coupling body arranged.
Vorteilhafterweise ist der Metallschaum mit einer Lagerstelle und/oder Befestigungsbohrung ausgebildet. Die Lagerstellen sind an einer Sattelkupplung an gegenüberliegenden seitlichen Positionen zum Abstützen der Kupplungsplatte an darunter befindlichen Lagerböcken angeordnet. Die Befestigungsbohrungen können beispielsweise als Gewindeeinsatzteil ausgebildet sein.advantageously, the metal foam is formed with a bearing and / or mounting hole. The bearings are on a fifth wheel at opposite lateral positions for supporting arranged the coupling plate to underlying bearing blocks. The mounting holes can be formed for example as a threaded insert part.
